Some wounds don't bleed; they echo.
Pond learned that silence can scream louder than words.
In a house built on lies, he grew up learning how to disappear.
But the past never forgets its way home.
And when it knocks, even silence must learn to speak again.

Fading echoes || Juyoonz
Every action leaves a mark. Every word, every silence, every choice, each one lingers, shaping the present and haunting the future. In a world where relationships are fragile and time moves relentlessly forward, the past never truly fades. It lingers in the spaces between people, in the regrets unspoken, in the memories that refuse to disappear. As bonds are tested and emotions unravel, the weight of past decisions begins to resonate through friendships, love, and loss. What happens when the past refuses to stay buried? When the echoes grow louder, drowning out the present? And when everything finally begins to fade, will the connections that once mattered still remain? A story of lingering memories, the fragile nature of human connection, and the way actions ripple through time, the echoes of the past is a poignant exploration of the ties that bind us, even as everything slowly fades away.Complete
Meat for the slaughter (en)
The city doesn't like to talk about blood. Even when the murders get too loud. She just wanted someone to hear - at least on the Internet. But in a world where the truth doesn't matter, silence becomes safer. Sometimes it all starts with a news story. And ends with you no longer knowing who to trust.Complete
His Luna
He's spent his life learning to stay quiet - because silence was safer than speaking. Trapped in a home that should have felt like love but only taught him fear, he's built walls high enough to keep everyone out. But when he finally breaks free, running from the only world he's ever known, he never expects to find safety in a stranger's arms. He knows what it's like to be broken - and how much courage it takes to start over. With patience and kindness, he helps him rediscover his voice, his strength, and the belief that not all love hurts. As scars begin to heal and trust slowly blooms, he learns that family isn't always blood - sometimes it's the people who choose to stand by you when the past tries to pull you back. Together, they fight for healing, freedom, and a love strong enough to rewrite his story.Complete
